DeciQedly Profitable.

The recent sale OF town lots In Boerne
evidences the value''of the iron horse to
communities. Four hundred acres were
sold a short time ago for the sum of
$4,000, which was considered fair
price for the land. The owner cut of
sixty acres of the property, divided 1t
into $50 lots. called 1t an addition" and
put them up for sale on the 9th inst.
Only 1873 lots were sold. These realized
$1,000 in cash and $1,000 In lien notes.
Thus the owner has realized the value
of his property and has still $40 acres
and AZ lots to pay the expenses Of the
sale and to realize handsome profit OF
over G3, 600 even at its lowest value, but
the chances are that he will clear $l0,-
900 on the investment.

Scenes Whose Sight Would Seriously In
terfere With the American Appetite.
One of these was a disgusting hole,
ten by twenty, reeking with horrible
vapors and diabolical smells. A woman
served something in greasy bags over
the humid counter; a brawny and un-
clean animal stirred a seething caul-
dron behind her with an iron ladle
huge enough for services of Brobdignag.
Every now and then he ladled some-
thing from the bubbling pot and de-
posted it on strainer beside him.
Then we saw that there were two
cauldrons superintendent by the bipedal
bulldog, one frying the dingy, I'M

Imagination but the very dullest Of
olfactories discern that the fish are of

The man whisked the potatoes out
with his ladle; the movement of the
fish he accelerated with his filthy paws.
When these paws became too slippery
with over-acquaintance with greasy
tails he coolly wiped them off upon his
hair. His head fairly oozed fairness
from every touzled hair; the sodden
and sullen face was lustrous, and the
bare. hairy arms from which loath-
some flannel sleeves were rolled high,
shone with brilliancy that was not
beautiful.

SATISFACTORY TRIALS.
Experiments With the New Elght-Inch
Thirteen Ton Steel Gun.

Experiments With the New Eight-Inch
Thirteen Ton Steel Gun.
The Ordnance Department is much
pleased with the performance of the
new 8-inch steel gun at Sandy Hook.
This gun, which weighs Is tons, and
whose length of bore is 80 calibers,
was manufactured at the West Point
foundry. The tube and jacket were
obtained from Whitworth, and the
hoops and the breech mechanism forg-
ings from the Midvale Steel Company.
The gun was first tried with the Ger
man brown prismatic powder, when
the following results were reached:
With charge or 100 pounds, and with
shot weighing 1872 pounds, the
muzzle velocity was 2,145 feet, and the
pressure $4,000 pounds; with 235-
pound shot the velocity was 1912 feet,
and the pressure 32,250 pounds; with
q shot weighing 286 pounds the velocity
was 1.795 feet, and the pressure $3.50
pounds. The gun was next tried with
Du Points brown prismatic powder, the
charge being the same. The velocity
with 235-pound shot was 1887 feet,
and the pressure 80, $50 pounds; with a
286-pound shot the velocity was 1920
feet, and the pressure 35,450 pounds.
The gun has been fired thirteen times,
and will now be turned over to the test
ing board. lis worthy of remark that
when this gun was designed, the COM
puted velocity with the 286-pound shot
was 1925 feet, and the computed pres
sure $4,000 pounds. This is almost ex-
actly verified by the firing with the Du
Point powder.-Arnsy and Nacr Req
ssteT.
